EVOLUȚIA DOCTRINELOR MILITARE RUSE: DE LA RĂZBOI NELINIAR LA CONTROLUL HAOSULUI
THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSIAN MILITARY DOCTRINES: FROM NON-LINEAR WARFARE TO CHAOS CONTROL

Summary/Abstract: This article explores the evolution of Russian military doctrines in Europe over three distinct phases: the Gerasimov Doctrine (2013-2019), the Gerasimov Doctrine 2.0 (2019-2022), and the newly adopted doctrine (2022-present), that falls under the controlling chaos theory. The Gerasimov Doctrine, known for its hybrid warfare tactics, cyberattacks, and propaganda measures, aimed to destabilize European security. However, this doctrine was not solely implemented by the Russian Ministry of Defense; it was part of a broader plan orchestrated by Russian leader Vladimir Putin to maintain influence over the Euro Atlantic region. During the implementation of Gerasimov Doctrine 2.0, Russian tactics shifted, reflecting the adaptability of their strategies, by using offensive cyber-attacks which affected the Ukrainian critical infrastructure. The current doctrine aims at creating social chaos in the Euro-Atlantic region, emphasizing on the creation of artificial chaos while maintaining a degree of regional control. The current article aims to analyze the evolution of the three military doctrines and the underlying reasons for these shifts, with implications for Euro-Atlantic security.
